Started off well enough. I scheduled a visit for my husband's birthday in 2024. Tasted wine, had…read morethe tour (this was a package I purchased). We joined the club. Since then, it has gone downhill. ZERO COMMUNICATION from the winery. I called the following year (remember we are club members now) to schedule another visit. I emailed and left two phone messages. No one ever got back to us. Horrid way to treat club members. I have been trying to leave the club for over a year now. Guess what? No communication back. Now they are charging me for a club allocation I did not want, nor ok, and have in fact requested to not have. Don't go. Horrible winery. There are literally hundreds of wineries in Paso/Templeton that adore their club members. Halter Ranch, Opolo, Graveyard (our favorite), Onx, Sans Liege, Venteux, etc, etc. Skip this one.

I really didn't care for any of them -- most of them were not the mainstream varietals - they were a bit too funky/ different for my tastes. I love the branding, but felt to make a connection here with the wines. Super cute tasting room full of the unique branding that makes this wine a fun wine. Next time, I'd come back and picnic under the trees and buy a few bottles of their standard wines for $25. I didn't really care for the funkier wines served in the wine tasting room. Perhaps that's me, perhaps you'll enjoy it.

Love, love, loving this comfy wine tasting space, right in the heart of downtown Atascadero…read more Owners Ayako and Chris have created a fun space for enjoying their wine flights, or having a glass or bottle of their Rhone and/or Bordeaux varietals. We've been in for several tastings, sitting both inside or outside, and their staff is always fun and welcoming. And for us dog lovers, this dog-friendly space is always nice for a pet-fix. Their English Cream Golden Retrievers are also very welcoming and love to join in our conversations. Wine by the glass is also very nice, and have become a big fan of their Zinfandel, Grenache Blanc, Sparkling Rose, and Viognier.

After being members for close to a decade, we officially canceled our membership today. We have…read morestayed loyal to Austin Hope--even when cutting other clubs--specifically because of the service, but that era has clearly ended. We are the type of members who always take great care of the staff and rarely leave without purchasing extra bottles, yet today we were treated like an inconvenience. ​Despite being told in the past that spontaneous visits were no problem for members, we were turned away on a gloomy Monday with plenty of open tables. The host at the entrance was incredibly dismissive and wouldn't even let us finish our sentence before cutting us off. We were told our only options were to come back in an hour, a "limited" tasting, drive all the way downtown, or just pick up our shipment and leave. ​We asked for the Wine Club Manager to resolve the situation, but she wasn't on-site. To be offered a "partial" tasting as a favor after nearly ten years of support was the final straw. It feels as though they now prioritize "closing" new members over honoring the people who have supported them for years. They've gone mainstream and lost the personal touch that made them special.

The owner and wine-maker Neil (whose nickname is Clavo) was great to talk to. He let us try every wine - about 3 whites, 1 rose, 1 sparkling, 5 or 6 reds, and a port. We are kind of wine snobs and loved a lot of the wines. While we tasted (and we were the only visitors at the time), Neil told us stories about his wine and his dogs, Rory and Karma visited with us. They are very sweet older pups. Because Zack's dad is in the wine business, Neil offered us a 30% discount on the wines we purchased - so nice! We'd love to visit Neil and Clavo again and were so thankful for such a fun afternoon activity (and Neil even gave us caterer suggestions to we can label this stop "working on our wedding"!).

She's incredibly knowledgeable about the wines and clearly passionate about what she does. The way she spoke about Marin and everything that goes into the wines was so genuine and enthusiastic--it really elevated the whole experience. Her energy and customer service were top-notch from start to finish. My wife was in heaven the entire time. Her absolute favorite was the Grit and Grace bottle. The bottles labels are so pretty with so much color. The tasting room itself is small, but in the best way possible--super cozy, intimate, and welcoming. It feels like you're in someone's living room rather than a big commercial space, which made the whole thing feel special and personal. Highly recommend booking a tasting here, especially if you can get Natasha as your guide. We'll definitely be back! Cheers!
